Dry powder medicine is becoming increasingly popular as it is easier to store in hostile (dry, remote, dangerous) regions for an extended period of time the efficiency of the delivery can be vastly improved with well-designed equipment. The interaction between the active pharmaceutical ingredient, its carrier and the inhaler to deliver the correct dosage in the respiratory system remains a challenge. The combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) together with discrete element modeling (DEM) is essential to design a dry powder inhaler (DPI) which is robust, easy-to-use and deliver the medicine to the bronchial pipe of the target population, despite its humane variability and possible pathologies. Join this webinar to understand how coupling Rocky DEM with ANSYS Fluent makes it possible to understand solid particle trajectories, to optimize the DPI design, and validate the proper delivery of particles in a patient-specific respiratory tree geometry. |
